A great sun/boob analogy

Boobs are like the sun. They keep you warm and make you happy, but stare directly at it and you are in trouble.

A good analogy is like a box of chocolates-

I was talking to my girl the other day, and I told her I came up with a poetic analogy for our relationship.

“You’re like my phone case,” I told her.

“Aww, what does that mean?”

“I paid $20 just to fuck you up.”

Do you think that the first analogy was discovered by a proctologist?

Why is proctology called proctology?

His father, wanting the son think critically, told him "let's make an analogy, i am the backbone family and i am the one that makes money. Therefore i am the business class.

STILL THE KING

I think the best analogy for where we are right now is that America is Elvis Presley -- the most beautiful, talented, rebellious nation in the history of Earth. And now, you're in your Vegas years.
